This story is an example of me trying to use a different style of writing, I've never used this style (I think) so if you have any comments please tell me! I may change to writing like this but it depends on what you think of this and my previous style. I like it though. Yes, it's OldRivalshipping, what about it??? If you hate me, don't bother reading, please.^^ My other stories will be on hold until this story has three chapters, because I feel like this one at the moment. (Writing like crazy here...) Well, thanks for understanding!
Full Summary: They left it hanging on the line because of that incident. Blue now has two daughters, but Green doesn't know that he's the father. So how is it, that the two girls bring their parents together once again? This time they can't leave it on the line. OldRivalshipping

"Blue, can you look after Cami' for me this weekend?"
The brown haired woman looked at the young blonde adult standing over the kitchen counter and nodded to her with a smile, "Ky' and Adi' would appreciate the company, Yellow." The blonde returned the smile, "Thanks, I'll go tell her."
Once Yellow had gone to surprise her daughter, Blue looked around, fully taking in the warm home which her best friend had settled into after her divorce. Light purple curtains had replaced the former black, pictures of various landscapes were hanging from the walls, a young child's toys were sitting neatly in the corner of the living room and although it was a small house, it had that feeling that made you feel at home. But the kitchen had to be her favorite area of the house. Blue tiles lined the floors, kitchen bench was always very clean and there was always something for the kids to eat.
The window was slightly open and a small breeze drifted through the gap, and a sad look crossed her face but instantly disappeared when a small voice spoke from behind her, "Are you okay?" Turning aruptly, she caught sight of a girl around the age of six leaning against the doorway. The black dress she wore reached her knees and a small, but noticeable necklace hung around the little girl's neck. Her deep, innocent emerald eyes gazed at her mother in concern. In panic that she had been caught, she instantly put up a cold facade. Blue bit her lip to suppress the sudden urge to start crying. "I'm fine...Jade."
"No, you're not." The tone of her voice and bluntness of her sentence shocked her slightly but before she could reply, another child dashed in and embraced her from behind. Once the little girl let go, she couldn't help but hug the child tightly. But, one thing Blue didn't notice was the fact that Jade looked away and walked out the door, because of this action.
Letting go of the girl, she took in the child's adorable features. Brown hair a shade lighter than hers was tied up in a little ponytail with strands of black hair framing her face to compliment with dazzling eyes that reflected the color of the ocean. A little taller than the average six year old but still slightly shorter than her older sister, she wore a plain light blue dress that went just below mid thigh. Surprisingly, she was still allowed to wear it.
The young female suddenly stumbled back a few steps and cocked her head curiously at the wall directly behind her mother. Blue slowly followed her daughter's long, fixed stare to find her eyes travel to a small canvas with four figures drawn without color, smiling and laughing together. Her younger daughter's voice asked with great interest, "Are you in that picture?" She looked at her mother, who seemed to be mesmerized by the simple but beautiful, detailed drawing. The phone started to ring, and as if by instinct Blue picked it up.
"Hello?" she asked, rushing the greeting a little.
"Blue? Is that you?" A awfully familiar masculine voice asked her in surprise. She couldn't put a finger on it, but she somehow knew who it was. And she dreaded whatever he was going to ask of her.
"Yeah..." she reluctantly decided to reply.
"Look Blue. I know you're mad, but you don't have to worry! Now-" Before the caller could finish, Blue cut him off.
"Now?! Now's different! Now I don't need you! Now I don't need him! Now I can take care of myself! Now, I have...I have..." She started to trail off, mad at herself because it almost came out.
"Have what?" Even without seeing him face to face, she knew he was smirking. She knew he thought he knew it all. But she would fight to protect her secret until it was ready to be told to others.
"Nothing. Good bye." And with that, she hung up and slammed the phone into the receiver. Yellow poked her head around the door and asked, "Who called?"
"You know who." Blue replied with an irritated look on her face.
Her friend seemed lost for a moment before asking, "Who? Pearl?"
"Who's Pearl?!" Blue asked in annoyance. Then again, she didn't feel like talking so before Yellow could answer she just muttered a simple, "Tell you who, later." Yellow nodded and began to walk towards her room.
Immediately remembering the drawing, she called aruptly after Yellow, "Wait a second!" Yellow turned around, long blonde ponytail flying and landing on her shoulder lightly. Blue pointed to the picture, unable to choose the correct words to form a sentence. Yellow instantly understood and a soft blush covered her face as she ran to take it off display. But a small foot stepped in front of her and she tripped over, landing on her face. "Skye! What are you doing?!"
Yellow got up to witness Blue scolding Skye like she did a terrible thing. "Why did you do that?"
Skye only managed to start her sentence before she was cut off. "I-"
"I told you to behave at people's houses!" Skye started to get scared, her mother never usually acted this way.
"But I-" Blue was angry. Even Yellow was shocked at the large amount of volume and meaning in her words, never had she acted this way, except maybe once when...
"No, Skye! This time I'm not listening! Why don't you-" This time it was Skye that cut Blue's sentence.
"NO! I did it because I like it!" She yelled, tears were starting to form at the little girl's eyes. Her eyes widened at her daughter's sudden outburst, never before had the young girl use a voice louder than her sister. But this went way beyond. "It's not right! Auntie worked hard on that picture! You can't just get her to take it down!" The maturity of a teenager flashed across the six year old's face, her expression hard to read. Yellow tried to say something, but decided to leave it up to the two of them, as a family.

As soon as Yellow entered the hallway, an energetic bundle of joy rammed straight into her, oblivious to everything that had happened. Yellow sank to the cold, wooden floor, her child propped up on her lap. There they sat in silence, Yellow gently stroking her daughter's blonde hair. "Is something's wrong?" The child's voice rang through the silence, Yellow looked at her for a moment, which seemed like eternity and decided to not get her daughter involved in it as well.
"No, don't worry...Camelia." Camelia snuggled up closer to her mother, still slightly alarmed by the muffled sound of shouting, but still relaxed. Then the little girl proceeded to stand up and suddenly raised something that caused another problem, "Hey...mama?" Yellow looked at her and motioned for her to go on. "I can't find Jady anywhere's and we aren't not playing hide and seek." Her mother's hazel eyes widened in shock and she stood up instantly and grabbed her daughters hand and started to run.
"Cami, I want you to follow me!" She told the five year old, who's worried expression turned to a determined look. The two raced around the house, checking every room, every box, every basket-just anything a six year old could possibly fit into and hide in. Nothing. Not a trace of the sandy haired girl. Not wanting to panic in front of her daughter, Yellow soon decided it was hopeless to just sit around, so she told Camelia what they were going to do.
The two blonde females crept down the hallway to the final room, which they were going to burst into. Arguing could be heard, even louder than before and Camelia flinched. Yellow patted her head to assure her that nothing was wrong.

1! Go!

The door swung wide open to reveal a flustered Yellow and panting Camelia. Judging by the looks on their faces, Blue knew something was up. Skye just knew that they had been running around a lot, but then again, she's only six. After regaining her breath and looking at her mother for the signal, she suddenly blurted out, "JADY WENT AWAY SOMEWHERE'S! WE CAN'T FIND HER ANYWHERE'S NOWIES!"
At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Skye looked up at her mother, to see her struggling not to cry. She knew her mother wasn't weak but she also knew, even though she barely ever talked to Jade unless she had to, she had a soft spot for her oldest daughter. Blue was shocked. Shocked was an understatement. But Blue knew she didn't go off to sulk this time. Jade had run away, away from her. Because she didn't seem to care. But she did. Yellow placed her hand on Blue's shoulder and said reassuringly, "Don't worry. I'm sure she's fine." "
"She's only six Yellow. I'd believe you more if you said everyone died and you took over the world than what you just said." Blue replied, smiling through the light fall of tears that were trickling down her face.
"You would?" Yellow questioned with an odd look on her face, as if she was a young child trying to interpret the sentence her parents just said.
"Hey, uh, it's called sarcasm." Blue smiled, and Yellow muttered a little, embarrassed 'oh'.
"WHAT'S WITH YOU!" The chirpy voice of Skye cut through, silencing everyone. Camelia immediately stood up from her spot on the floor, where she was playing and hid behind Yellow, shivering. "SIS' IS GONE AND YOU DON'T EVEN GO AFTER HER! WHY! TELL ME NOW!" Skye kept talking animately, accusing her mother for doing this, and that and this and everything she should have forgotten a long time ago.
"We wait for da police piepal* to find Jady, dat's what, I-I think." Camelia's quietness alarmed Skye and she sat down next to Camelia, giving the shaking younger girl a small hug.
"Okay then, let's go Cami!" Skye shot one last glance at her bewildered mother before running off to help Camelia forget about it.

Jade wandered around the dark, overgrown forest of Viridian. Her bangs fell over her right eye, but she didn't bother brushing it back. Ever since she had developed facial features different from that of her younger sister she had been distanced from her mother. It wasn't her fault...but after three years of holding it back, Jade couldn't help but let a single tear drip down her face. The cold, wet, unfamiliar sensation startled her but she accepted it.
Tall grass grew around the dusty dirt path she was walking along and rustling could be heard in many of the bushes. She envied everyone. Skye. Camelia. Crimson. Amber. Sanguine. Neva. Nero. Pastelle. Everyone. Jade had often bottled up her emotions, for she never wanted anyone to get hurt. Now, because she was alone, all the emotions poured out. Being a six year old girl, she often didn't think like one. Like everyone else at kindergarten, she just wanted to hurry up and become older.
"X Scissor!" A male's voice commanded from a distance. Jade looked up in shock when she saw a blur rushing towards her. She ducked and fell into a defensive position; curling up into a ball.
"Wait, stop!" The voice commanded even louder. The monster in front of her disappeared in a flash of red light. Jade peeked through her hands at the man looming over her.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked with general concern. It took fifteen minutes for Jade to actually start trusting the man and stand up nodding silently. Dusting herself off, she looked back up to find the tall male staring at her in astonishment.
"What?" She asked rudely, Yellow told her to never talk to strangers in a nice way until you trusted them. He blinked a few times before answering with a single, "Nothing."
The bright blue, cloudless sky seemed to brighten slightly as the two looked away from each other, a tinge of red on each person's face. The sun shone from behind the thick trees, a beautiful day it was, even if the day wasn't that good for Jade.
"So, what are you doing? Where's your family?" The man asked her, knowing not to call her little girl or who knows what she might do.
"Walking. My family is in Viridian." Jade glared up at the guy with menacing emerald eyes, "So what?"
He smirked. "You here alone?"
"Yeah, so WHAT?" She repeated her question in annoyance.
"What's your name?" He continued smirking, while ignoring her question as well.
"Jade, what's yours and SO WHAT?" She started using a half-threatening voice, well, at least now she knew she had some of her mother's genes that Skye didn't have.
"Green. Nice to meet you, Jade." He smirked, ignoring her irritated look and once again, skipping her question.
Jade didn't answer. Instead, she started backing away slowly from Green with a look of fear plastered on her face. His cocky expression turned to a confused look. "What's wrong?" He asked her gently, without stepping closer. Jade closed her eyes and shook her head rapidly, as if she was trying to get rid of him, like he was some kind of dream. She suddenly bursted into a rant that Green could barely comprehend.
"What da ya mean ya are Green ya can't be Green, he is da Viridian..." Jade's eye color somehow changed from deep emerald to pastel lime and her eyes were wide, expression quite like Skye's fangirl mode. Jade suddenly stopped, running out of breath.
"You!!!" She pointed at him with an accusing finger. It was only then did the older man really take in the little girl's appearance. Green eyes, sandy colored hair, black dress, circular necklace, rude but easily annoyed attitude...no, it couldn't be...could it?
"So you. Tell me somethin', did..."

piepal* = people (Camelia's little understanding of english and grammar)
*smiles* Thanks for the understanding and patience! Hehehe~
If it's confusing, then, then, then...uh...I will do something about it. No, it's not a completely sad story...although maybe-nah. This is one of the longest chapters I have ever written...if I wrote this last year, I would have cut it as 522 words! Seriously, but last year was last year^^
Seeya!
